Hewitt, TX 60 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Hewitt, along with several neighboring communities and some unincorporated areas of McLennan County, is served by the Midway Independent School District. There are six elementary schools, two intermediate schools, one middle school and one high school. The climate of east Texas is much like most of the South. Summers are hot and humid (thanks to the Gulf of Mexico), topping out at a wet and sticky 95 in July. This often feels more like 100 with the heat index. Winters are significantly milder, bottoming out in January around 33 degrees. The area gets about 33 inches of rainfall and averages about one inch of snow per year. The population of Hewitt is 13,368, as of 2010. The area grew slowly and steadily until the 1970s, when it started growing like weeds in the garden. Jobs here are an even mixture of professional positions and unskilled labor, with much of the workforce serving in sales, education and office jobs. Two accredited non-profit hospitals serve the Hewitt community, Hillcrest Health System and Providence Health Care Network. View Hewitt City Guide

Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.

Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.

You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.

Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.

Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.

Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Hewitt renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
